The Active/Passive Performance Cycle Second Quarter 2022 Update
The performance derby between actively-managed portfolios and passively-managed index funds is a topic of ongoing interest for Leuthold clients and the investment community at large. Therefore, we are providing an update to all charts and tables of our Active/Passive performance analyses.

Intrinsic Value Update
We apologize for the unanticipated Benchmarks delay. In the meantime, per client requests, here are updated histograms for our primary stock market value benchmarks, including commentary. We are pleased that so many of our clients really do use this work.
Intrinsic Value Benchmarks
We were not planning to publish the Leuthold Group’s Histographs this issue. But clearly a number of clients have a high level of interest in this work. We had a large number of calls this last month requesting updates. So, here they are again.
Focus: Intrinsic Value Benchmarks
Updated histographs of P/E multiples, book value ratios and yields are presented this issue, as well as a new histograph of cash flow ratios.
